What does TMVR stand for?

For people who cannot undergo surgery, transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) provides a newer, minimally invasive option for treating the most common form of mitral valve leakage.

What is Apollo trial?

The APOLLO Trial is studying the safety and efficacy of an investigative device called the Intrepid Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement System. The Intrepid device is a heart valve that is designed to help alleviate mitral regurgitation so that blood can flow through your heart in the intended direction.

Can Tavr be used for mitral valve?

Introduction. After the success and worldwide adoption of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), the percutaneous replacement of a diseased mitral valve (MV) rapidly became a target for investigators and industry.

Is TMVR FDA approved?

While a number of technologies are in clinical development, an edge-to-edge leaflet repair device (the MitraClip) is currently the only US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved device for TMVR. The MitraClip, as well as the CARILLON mitral annuloplasty device, has CE Mark approval.

What is TMVR procedure?

A type of transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR), MitraClip is a relatively new heart valve procedure. We use this minimally invasive approach to treat the main form of mitral valve leaking, or mitral regurgitation. To perform TMVR, your doctor inserts a catheter, or a small, thin tube, into an artery in your groin.

What is TMVR surgery?

TMVR Treatment Overview Transcatheter mitral valve replacement allows cardiologists to treat severe mitral regurgitation or mitral stenosis without surgery. Using a catheter (a thin, flexible tube) inserted in a vein in your groin and expert imaging, your cardiologist guides a new valve to your heart.

What is a TMVR procedure?

What is the MitraClip made of?

The MitraClip Device is placed without the need for arresting the heart or cardiopulmonary bypass. The implantable MitraClip Device is manufactured with metal alloys and polyester fabric (Clip cover) that are commonly used in cardiovascular implants.

What is the Intrepid TMVR system?

The Intrepid transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) system integrates self-expanding stent technology with a tissue heart valve to facilitate minimally invasive, catheter-based implantation. The prosthesis is compressed inside a hollow delivery catheter and implantation is completed through trans-apical access.

Is the Intrepid™ transcatheter mitral valve replacement system an investigational device?

CAUTION: The Intrepid™ Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement System is an investigational device. Limited by federal (United States) law to investigational use. Exclusively for clinical investigations.

What is the Medtronic Apollo trial?

As part of our commitment to developing solutions for the treatment of valve disease, Medtronic is sponsoring the landmark APOLLO Trial. APOLLO will evaluate transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) — a therapy designed to correct mitral regurgitation.
